Meetings

Negotiate Like a Pro in Any Scenario!

Lauren Milligan

Abstract

Before you are assigned a desk and the shiny new box of business cards arrive, there are many
rounds of negotiations that can take place during the hiring process. This presentation will shed
light on the most successful negotiating tactics, including crucial steps that you must take
before the negotiating stage begins. This interactive workshop includes a lively group exercise
where the participants get to try out the tactics shared in the presentation. The strategies you
learn at this presentation can be implemented anytime - from salary negotiations to deciding which
movie to see on the weekend!

Once we have finished, we will adjourn to nearby Cozymel's Mexican restaurant for food and drinks.
